atlasbridge 0.6.0

Universal human-in-the-loop control plane for AI developer agents — forward prompts to your phone, reply from anywhere

AtlasBridge

Universal human-in-the-loop control plane for AI developer agents.

---

AtlasBridge sits between you and your AI coding agent. Whenever your agent pauses and requires human input — approval, confirmation, a choice, or clarification — AtlasBridge forwards that prompt to your phone.

You respond from your phone via Telegram or Slack. AtlasBridge relays your decision back to the CLI. Execution resumes.

No walking back to your desk. No missed prompts. You stay in control.

Install

pip install atlasbridge

# With Slack support:
pip install "atlasbridge[slack]"

Requires Python 3.11+. Works on macOS and Linux.

---

Quick start

Option A — Interactive Mode (v0.5.0+)

Run atlasbridge with no arguments in your terminal to launch the interactive control panel:

atlasbridge          # auto-launches TUI when stdout is a TTY
atlasbridge ui       # explicit TUI launch

The interactive UI guides you through setup, shows live status, and provides quick access to sessions, logs, and doctor checks — all in your terminal.

Option B — CLI commands

1. Set up your channel

Telegram (recommended for getting started):

atlasbridge setup --channel telegram

You'll be prompted for your Telegram bot token (get one from @BotFather) and your Telegram user ID (get it from @userinfobot).

Slack:

atlasbridge setup --channel slack

You'll need a Slack App with Socket Mode enabled, a bot token (xoxb-*), and an app-level token (xapp-*).

2. Run your AI agent under supervision

atlasbridge run claude

AtlasBridge wraps Claude Code in a PTY supervisor. When it detects a prompt waiting for input, it forwards it to your phone. Tap a button or send a reply — AtlasBridge injects your answer and the agent continues.

3. Check status

atlasbridge status
atlasbridge sessions

---

How it works

1. atlasbridge run claude wraps your AI CLI in a PTY supervisor
2. The tri-signal prompt detector watches the output stream
3. When a prompt is detected, AtlasBridge sends it to your Telegram or Slack
4. You tap a button or send a reply on your phone
5. AtlasBridge injects your answer into the CLI's stdin
6. The agent continues

AtlasBridge is a relay, not a firewall. It does not interpret commands, score risks, or block actions. It asks you — and only you — at the exact moment the agent needs human input.

Changelog

v0.6.0 — Autonomous Agent Runtime (Policy-Driven)

• Policy DSL v0 — YAML-based, strictly typed, first-match-wins rule engine; atlasbridge policy validate and atlasbridge policy test --explain
• Autopilot Engine — policy-driven prompt handler with three autonomy modes: Off / Assist / Full
• Kill switch — atlasbridge pause / atlasbridge resume (or /pause, /resume from Telegram/Slack)
• Decision trace — append-only JSONL audit log at ~/.atlasbridge/autopilot_decisions.jsonl
• Autopilot CLI — atlasbridge autopilot enable|disable|status|mode|explain
• 56 new tests (policy model, parser, evaluator, decision trace); 341 total
• New design docs: docs/autopilot.md, docs/policy-dsl.md, docs/autonomy-modes.md

v0.5.3 — CSS packaging hotfix

• fix(ui): atlasbridge ui no longer crashes with StylesheetError when installed from a wheel
• Root cause: .tcss files were not included in the package distribution, and CSS was loaded via filesystem path instead of importlib.resources
• Both ui/app.py and tui/app.py now load CSS via importlib.resources (works in editable and wheel installs)
• Added [tool.setuptools.package-data] for *.tcss inclusion
• Added __init__.py to ui/css/ so importlib.resources can locate assets
• atlasbridge doctor now checks that UI assets are loadable
• 4 new regression tests for CSS resource loading

v0.5.2 — Production UI skeleton

• New atlasbridge.ui package: 6 screens with exact widget IDs, StatusCards component, polling.py (poll_state()), and full TCSS
• atlasbridge / atlasbridge ui now launch the production UI skeleton (separate from the original tui/ package, which is preserved for compatibility)
• WelcomeScreen shows live status cards when configured (Config / Daemon / Channel / Sessions)
• SetupWizardScreen navigates to a dedicated SetupCompleteScreen on finish
• 12 new smoke tests; 285 total

v0.5.1 — Branding fix + lab import fix

• All CLI output now shows "AtlasBridge" — doctor, status, setup, daemon, sessions, run, and lab were still printing "Aegis" / "aegis"
• atlasbridge lab list/run no longer crashes with ModuleNotFoundError when installed from PyPI; now shows a clear message pointing to editable install

v0.5.0 — Interactive Terminal UI

• atlasbridge (no args) — launches the built-in TUI when run in an interactive terminal; prints help otherwise
• atlasbridge ui — explicit TUI launch command
• Welcome screen — shows live status (daemon, channel, sessions) when configured; onboarding copy when not
• Setup Wizard — 4-step guided flow: choose channel → enter credentials (masked) → allowlist user IDs → confirm and save
• Doctor screen — environment health checks with ✓/⚠/✗ icons, re-runnable with R
• Sessions screen — DataTable of active and recent sessions
• Logs screen — tail of the hash-chained audit log (last 100 events)
• Bug fix — channel_summary now returns "none" when channels exist but none are configured
• 74 new unit tests; 273 total

v0.4.0 — Slack + AtlasBridge rename

• Full Slack channel implementation (Web API + Socket Mode + Block Kit buttons)
• MultiChannel fan-out — broadcast to Telegram and Slack simultaneously
• Renamed from Aegis to AtlasBridge; auto-migration from ~/.aegis/ on first run
• Added GeminiAdapter for Google Gemini CLI

v0.3.0 — Linux

• Linux PTY supervisor (same ptyprocess backend as macOS)
• systemd user service integration (atlasbridge start installs and enables the unit)
• 20 QA scenarios in the Prompt Lab

v0.2.0 — macOS MVP

• Working end-to-end Telegram relay for Claude Code
• Tri-signal prompt detector (pattern match + TTY block inference + silence watchdog)
• Atomic SQL idempotency guard (decide_prompt())
• Hash-chained audit log

v0.1.0 — Design

• Architecture docs, code stubs, Prompt Lab simulator infrastructure

Core invariants

AtlasBridge guarantees the following regardless of channel, adapter, or concurrency:

1. No duplicate injection — nonce idempotency via atomic SQL guard
2. No expired injection — TTL enforced in the database WHERE clause
3. No cross-session injection — prompt_id + session_id binding checked
4. No unauthorised injection — allowlisted identities only
5. No echo loops — 500ms suppression window after every injection
6. No lost prompts — daemon restart reloads pending prompts from SQLite
7. Bounded memory — rolling 4096-byte buffer, never unbounded growth

Troubleshooting

Wrong binary in PATH?

atlasbridge version --verbose

This shows the exact install path, config path, Python version, and platform — useful for detecting stale installs or multiple versions.

atlasbridge: command not found after pip install

Ensure your Python scripts directory is on PATH:

python3 -m site --user-scripts   # shows user scripts dir
# or for venv:
which atlasbridge

Config not found

atlasbridge doctor

Shows where AtlasBridge expects its config file. Run atlasbridge setup to create it.

Upgrading from Aegis?

AtlasBridge automatically migrates ~/.aegis/config.toml on first run. Your tokens and settings are preserved.
